Open Clavicle Fracture: A Case Report.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Open clavicle fractures are rare, accounting for only 1.8% of all fractures. This report describes a 37 year old male with an open Gustilo Anderson grade II midshaft clavicle fracture (Robinson type 2B1) caused by a wood cutting machine. He was hemodynamically stable but had an 8*6 cm wound with exposed clavicle. Initial emergency care included tetanus prophylaxis, intravenous antibiotics, and wound debridement. Definitive fixation was performed on day four using an 8 hole anatomical locking plate with screws. Postoperatively, progressive physiotherapy led to uneventful wound healing and good functional recovery. The case emphasizes that open clavicle fractures should be managed like open long bone fractures, with timely debridement, adequate antibiotics, and early surgical fixation, but simple arm pouch sling immobilization is sufficient until definitive fixation. This report contributes to the limited literature on open clavicle fracture management and supports operative stabilization for favorable outcomes in similar injuries.
